Yachting Interests.

the BEE. E.l-fachting men are consoling g
themselves over the improbability of another
challenge for tine American cup with the
rumor of an international steam yacht race for
the prize offered by the American yacht club
two years ago, valued at $4,000. The superb
ority of American steam, yachts as evidenced
by their brushes with foreign built craft
abroad have chagrincd the English. 1t is
said that Commodore Clarke, of the Royal
Clyde yacht club, intends to build "a steam
yacht OF the largest class,with a view of chal-
lenging. Clarke was here during the last
cup races in the steam yacht Mohican, which
he sold.

rated this morning between the village offi-
GERS of Hyde Park, recently annexed to

In view of the heavy travel over the
Central Pacific, which seems liable to
Increase rather than diminish, aud
which necessities the running Ut two
tfains, or two sections, ore following
the other in close proximity, We t.,ke
occasion onoe more to suggest tae pro-
priety Of arranging to run two t4aius
'aoh way twelve hohrs apart insiead Of
running one train in two sections. This
plum would certainly be more oouven-
lent to the travelling public, there wonld
be less liability OF accidents while the
expense, 20 fur as we can see, wouli; be
no 'gr cater to the Railroad Company.
We believe that all concerned would be
benefited by such an arrangement. TIE
travel Is immense, and a tail each
way, tuorning and evening. meeting t
Elko would certainly be great i'm
provement upon the present Pima of
running but one tram in Two sections
an is done at present. We hope TINT
the Company will IN ke this matter M
der advisement and decide to issue a
new time card in accordance with tie
above suggestions.

Scarlatina and Cattle Disease.

In its notice of the fifteenth annual
report of the local government board of
England the New York Sanitary En-
qineer and Construction Record notices,
as among the newest and most impor-
tant of the matters treated, the con-
nection of scarlatina with disease in
mich cows some additional data of
which, derived from the investigations
of Mr.. Power and DR.. Klein, are given
in the present report, among which is
an important statement by DR.. Klein
that he has obtained from the blood of
ordinary human scarlatina micro
organism apparently identical with that
found in the ulcers on the udders of the
cows from whose milk Mr.. Power
proved that scarlet fever had been
spread. This peculiar disease of the
COW, which appears to be due to the
same cause as scarlatina and to be
capable of producing the disease in
man, is not one which makes the animal
very i'll, and may easily be overlooked.
Scarlatina is pre-eminently disease of
England and Wales, in which it causes
from II 900 to 900 deaths annually
ON the average, and the consequences
of this discovery are likely to be of
great practical Importance in prevent
i've point of view. Another important
advance in knowledge is the discovery
by DR.. Klein of the specific micrococ-
Gus, which is the cause of what is known
as the foot and mouth disease, or con-
tagious aphthe of cattle, and especially
of the fact that it is probably posi-
BILE to successfully vaccinate animals
against this disease. The experiments
reported in previous volumes as to
the efficacy of various disinfectants
have been continued, with the result
that the perchloride of mercury (cor-
rosive sublimate) has greater anti
septic and disinfecting powers than any
other known substance, but that the
species, pedigree and stage of growth
of various heterogeneous differ widely
as to the power of resisting the poison
Gus action of this salt. Fortunately
those heterogeneous which are the
most dangerous are the easiest to kill.
Another interesting result obtained is
that ozone seems more antagonistic to
the ordinary bacteria of putrefaction
than to the bacteria which cause specific
disease. -BOStOn Herald.
